@vaporeon_ this is the future liberals want

@monorail @cam you are not a university degree haver? or not a mastodon user? or not normal?

@vaporeon_ and there's chicken in there too because why not?

@vaporeon_ a weird potato onion leek egg drop soup i made last weekend to stop things from going bad in my fridge

soup time

@cam @monorail we are all weirdos with university degrees who use mastodon so i don't trust our opinions on what is normal

@monorail i do say "trivial" and "such that" a nontrivial amount in everyday conversation

why does my mom think that nicotine is good for you, is this another weird fascy conservahippie thing

@vaporeon_ "cycle" is not a technical concept it is a word i made up to describe what i was looking for

@vaporeon_ what i'm trying to do is find the length of a "cycle" in the array. a cycle is the number of "jumps" you can do in the array if you jump forward by a set number of indices before you return to where you started, assuming that you start back at the beginning of the array once you exceed its length

@vaporeon_ when i looked at other solutions people usually used a greatest common denominator algorithm which is O(sqrt(n)) in this step, but the reasons for it are due to Math I Don't Understand

@vaporeon_ im trying to think of a silly acronym but i cannot think of one, gorp is too weird

@vaporeon_ they have a terminal where you can write code in an online IDE and immediately check the result against test cases so it actually makes sense in this context

@vaporeon_ specifically my solution is a linear time, O(1) space solution (O(1) space solution is really hard to come up with)

@vaporeon_ here is a screenshot:

@vaporeon_ it's a solution to https://leetcode.com/problems/rotate-array/description/

@cam oh you aren't yet fully versed in glitchcat lore it seems

@monorail if you actually say "ack" in real life then i am reporting you ​
